At 41, I walked away from a 15-year career in educational administration, a divorce, bankruptcy, and chronic health struggles to build a global, location-independent life as a writer. Since 2018, I’ve lived across 10 countries, lost 100+ pounds, and established myself as an award-winning essayist featured in Essence, Business Insider, AARP, Parents, and others. On this channel, I share solo travel at midlife adventures, clumsy attempts at learning Spanish in Mexico, and my messy transition from being a tech freelance writer to a story consultant for thought leaders and brands. This channel is for the adventurous, creative woman over 40 ready to shed her corporate perfectionism and step into her full authority as an author. Whether you are a founder writing a book to scale your brand or a woman rebuilding after a massive life reset, I am here to help you bypass the traditional gatekeepers, claim your authentic voice, and build a magnetic media asset that attracts your true tribe.
